Ep 09 - REFLECTIONS ON THE GURU SWAMI TAPOYAJNANANDA MONK OF THE RAMAKRISHNA ORDER To be successful in the divine quest, as in all other aspects of life, it is necessary to follow the spiritual laws revealed in the sacred scriptures. To understand the secular knowledge available in a school, you have to learn from a teacher who knows it. Similarly, to understand the spiritual truths as revealed in the scriptures, it is necessary to have a spiritual teacher, or Guru, someone who knows the Truth. Guru is more than a father, who walks with you through eternity, no matter whether you are on the lower mental plane or the higher plane of wisdom. The Guru will be your friend even if you make mistakes, for then you need the Guru's friendship more than at any other time. A guru guides the spiritual progress of his students (shishyas). Through the guru's spiritual, psychological and practical insight, instructions are given according to what they perceive to be necessary for the student to learn and advance spiritually.
